GETTING A DRIVERS LICENSE

If you have made aliya with a valid drivers license from another country, you need to go to MEMSI, the Israeli Automobile Club to get photographed and get a green medical form which must be signed by an eye doctor and a GP.
You then take this form to The Licensing Bureau (Misrad Harishui) with your identity card and your immigrant card.
If you have never had a license before or did not get an Israeli one within the first year after aliya you need to follow the same procedure and take a written theoretical exam (Sun. to Thu. 7 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.) for which you pay NIS 113. This can be done in English. The book needed to study for the test is also available in English and can be bought from almost any bookstore. You must then sign up at a driving school and take a course of 28 lessons.
